Land in New Zealand?
Should it not be the governments responsibility to sort out Maori land claims instead off making the Maori put applications through and making them pay out off there own pocket? wasnt it the european government that took this land without paying for it in the first place? why is the government not looking into this? are they hoping people forget about it so they can sell that land off to over seas investors like Queenstown, Auckland & all the other major cities are currently doind. The Maoris who are the original occupants seem to be hard done by and it is a form off suppression.
Nope the europeans did not practice genocide here directly instead manipulated other tribes to do it on there behalf, as in the case of Te Rauparaha and when he was bribed to enact the extermination off Waitaha in the South Island.

I think you're right. It should be up to the government to prove that the land DOES NOT belong to the Maoris, rather than vice versa.
I have to confess my ignorance of New Zealand history. Did the European settlers there practice genocide, too, like they did in the United States?

They can't complain. They got plenty of beads and blankets in the original purchase.
Deal of the century!
